The Buffalo Bore Ammunition 19A20 Outdoorsman delivers maximum penetration and knockdown power for serious hunting and outdoor protection scenarios. This 180-grain hard cast flat nose load transforms the .357 Magnum into a formidable big game cartridge capable of taking down large predators and medium-sized game animals.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard jacketed hollow points that fragment on impact, the hard cast flat nose bullet maintains its weight and structure for deep, straight-line penetration. Buffalo Bore loads this cartridge to true magnum pressures, generating significantly higher velocities than typical factory ammunition. The flat nose design creates larger wound channels than round nose bullets while maintaining the penetration advantages of hard cast construction.
